What are the best surf conditions for Playa Elefante?
Gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard when smaller and a shortboard or step-up as the size picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfer. The surf here is consistent (7/10) and will be uncrowded (4/10). The best winds are from the Southeast. The best swells are from the Northwest and West. Works on all tides.
We recommend wearing a 3/2 in the summer when water temperatures rise to 20 degrees. In the winter a 4/3 is best when water temperatures drop to 15 degrees. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
